Von Consulting Tech Division Presents Tech Trends Amplified by Coronavirus Pandemic

During the Covid-19 pandemic, technologies have played and will keep playing a crucial role in keeping the society functional and these technologies may have a long-lasting impact beyond Covid-19

Berlin, Germany, June 24, 2020 -  Is it a winning bet or playing with fire to thinking about launching a new product in these coronavirus stricken times. Those who pay close attention to how people and, subsequently, businesses have adapted to the new normal might just find the right avenue for action.

‘During the Covid-19 pandemic, technologies have played and will keep playing a crucial role in keeping our society functional. And these technologies may have a long-lasting impact beyond Covid-19’, says Ms. Vivien Untaru, General Manager with VON Consulting Tech Division, a technology start-up operating in San Diego, California.

Here’s some lines of business that VON Consulting Tech Division, specializing in hardware design and verification, as well as embedded software development services, application implementation and testing in telecommunications, has identified.

Logistics for contactless delivery
Online shopping needs to be supported by a robust logistics system. Many delivery companies and restaurants in the US are launching a type of delivery where goods are picked up and dropped off at a designated location. Stateside, e-commerce giants are also focusing on a new delivery system, through robot deliveries – so this might be one business avenue worth looking into.

Software for digital payments via cards or e-wallets
Thinking about a specific application for software development? Take the following into account: contactless digital payments. Either in the form of cards or e-wallets, this is the new recommended payment method to avoid the spread of Covid-19. Digital payments enable people to make online purchases and payments of goods, services and even utility payments, as well as to receive stimulus funds faster.

Workflow and security applications for remote work
Between 2017 and 2018, as per data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, about 25% of employees worked from home at least occasionally. These figures have registered a staggering increase over the last few months, due to social distancing and work-from-home regulations.

Work-from-home led to the need for remote work technologies (virtual private networks - VPNs, voice over internet protocols - VoIPs, virtual meetings, cloud technology, work collaboration tools and even facial recognition technologies that enable a person to appear before a virtual background to preserve the privacy of the home). Just as much, remote work raised the bar on the necessity for information security, privacy and timely tech support.

Core technologies for the supply chain
Heavy reliance on paper-based records, a lack of visibility on data and lack of diversity and flexibility have made existing supply chain systems vulnerable to any disruption, such as the one accelerated by the pandemic.
Big Data, cloud computing, Internet-of-Things (“IoT”) and blockchain are building a more resilient supply chain management system for the future by enhancing the accuracy of data and encouraging data sharing.

In order to continue beyond the Covid-19 era, a business has to portray digital readiness.
As a supplier of the necessary infrastructure to support a digitized world, which facilitates staying current in the latest technology, one can remain competitive even in a post-Covid-19 world.

Pureshowers.co.uk Launches The World's First Matte Black Hand-Held Shower Filter into the UK Market

Black is the new black when it comes to tapware, especially in the world of bathroom interior design.

United Kingdom., June 22, 2020 - Black is the new black when it comes to tapware, especially in the world of bathroom interior design. Homeowners looking to add the statement shade to their space can now do as PureShowers.co.uk launches the world’s first matte black, hand-held shower filter.

The majority of hand-held shower filters on the market are available in either chrome or clear plastic. But a hot new trend in bathroom and kitchen fittings has seen modern houses and contemporary interior designers incorporating black tapware to both bathrooms and kitchens.

Hand-held shower filters are shower heads which are installed on a standard shower hose. But unlike traditional shower heads, they incorporate a water filter cartridge within that filters the water to remove contaminants such as chlorine, bacteria, heavy metals while also making the water feel softer.

Ty Lee, owner of PureShowers.co.uk said, “We’ve been retailing shower filters for over 10 years and whilst many customers are happy with a chrome shower filter, those with high-end showers and fittings want something more modern and chic. We are the first in the UK to introduce a matt black design. Unique and stylish it gives any bathroom an immediate wow factor.”

The hand-held shower filter itself incorporates three different water filter mediums and comes with two filter cartridges which can last up to 12 months before having to be replaced. It is also available in white or chrome colours to suit more traditional showers and bathrooms and is currently on offer for the special launch price of £35.95 (RRP £45.95).

It has already won rave reviews from customers with many giving five-star reviews for both the design and functionality. Shirley Chan of London says: “I have been using the shower filter for three weeks now and I have noticed the difference in my skin and hair. Previously, my skin would feel very dry and itchy and I had to moisturise with an emollient cream, but now my skin feels soft and smooth and I no longer have to use my creams.”

Stephen Boyle of Essex says: “It’s easy to install. Well after two weeks since putting the filter on my shower, it's great. I never realised how much damage chlorine does to the skin.”

Jacqueline Gallagher of Derry says: “The filter does everything it promised and I couldn't be happier. I’ve recommended it to all my friends and am telling all my salon clients of the benefits.”

The utterly contemporary matt black hand-held shower filters are available exclusively from the PureShowers.co.uk website. To find out more, visit: http://www.pureshowers.co.uk

About PureShowers.co.uk:
Established in 2008, PureShowers.co.uk is the premiere shower filter online store in the UK. Specialising exclusively in water filters for the bathroom, they have sold hundreds of thousands of shower and bathroom filters to many thousands of satisfied customers.

Top 10 Gründe, Warum Technologieorientiertes Outsourcing Ihnen im Jahr 2020 tatsächlich Kosten Spart

Die Coronavirus-Pandemie, die weltweit eskaliert und Geschäftsprozesse umkrempelt, wirft folgende Frage auf: Ist Outsourcing im Jahr 2020 noch vorteilhaft?

Berlin, Germany, June 12, 2020 -- Die letzten Jahre waren bahnbrechend für Unternehmen, sowohl in Bezug auf innovative Technologien als auch auf den Betrieb. Ein hohes Aktivitätsvolumen bedeutete, dass Unternehmen ganz oder teilweise auf die Auslagerung von IT- und Technologiedienstleistungen zurückgriffen.

Die Coronavirus-Pandemie, die weltweit eskaliert und Geschäftsprozesse umkrempelt, wirft folgende Frage auf: Ist Outsourcing im Jahr 2020 noch vorteilhaft?

”Die Vor- und Nachteile des Outsourcings sind sowohl für Unternehmen, die ihre unternehmerische Reise beginnen, als auch für die etablierten Einheiten in diesem Jahr ein heißes Diskussionsthema. Wenn Sie jedoch die gesamte Bandbreite der Vorteile verstehen, die das Outsourcing bietet, dann glaube ich wirklich, dass es Ihr Unternehmen zu einer digital fortschrittlichen Organisation führen kann", sagt Vivien Untaru, Geschäftsführerin von VON Consulting, einem in den Vereinigten Staaten und Deutschland tätigen Outsourcing-Unternehmen, das von der Hard- und Softwareentwicklung bis hin zur IT-Unterstützung eine umfassende Palette von Dienstleistungen anbietet.

Welche IT-Funktionen kann Ihr Unternehmen auslagern?

Wenn Sie technologieorientiertes Outsourcing mit unternehmensinternen Teams vergleichen, gibt es einige Dinge, die für die erste Option sprechen. Die Art der Dienstleistungen, die Sie für Ihr Unternehmen benötigen, hängt von der Größe, dem Betrieb, dem Wachstumspotenzial und anderen Anforderungen ab.

Die am häufigsten ausgelagerten Funktionen für Unternehmen sind jedoch Software- und Anwendungsentwicklung, analoges und digitales Design-Engineering, Datenbankentwicklung und -verwaltung, Informationssicherheit, Einrichtung und Wartung der Infrastruktur, Telekommunikation, technische Unterstützung, Forschung und Entwicklung.

”In Anbetracht dieser Vorteile scheint Outsourcing die beste Wahl sowohl für Unternehmen als auch für Neugründungen zu sein. Es besteht jedoch die Notwendigkeit, einen Technologiepartner zu finden, auf den man sich zweifelsfrei verlassen kann, sowohl in Bezug auf die technologische Kompetenz als auch auf die Beständigkeit der Leistungserbringung", fügt Frau Untaru vom IT-Outsourcingunternehmen VON Consulting hinzu.

Hier ist, warum technologieorientiertes Outsourcing besser ist als ein internes Team

Sie sparen Geld. Ihr Unternehmen wird niedrigere Arbeitskosten haben, da Sie kein Geld für die Rekrutierung, Ausbildung und Bindung der Mitarbeiter ausgeben, sondern auf geschulte Ressourcen bei der Einstellung zurückgreifen können und auch Steuerersparnisse erhalten.

Sie sparen Geld. Ihr Unternehmen wird niedrigere Arbeitskosten haben, da Sie kein Geld für die Rekrutierung, Ausbildung und Bindung der Mitarbeiter ausgeben, sondern auf geschulte Ressourcen bei der Einstellung zurückgreifen können und auch Steuerersparnisse erhalten.

Sie sparen Zeit. Durch die Partnerschaft mit einem Outsourcing-Anbieter können Sie die Zeit sparen, die für die Rekrutierung und Schulung des internen Teams für dieselben Funktionen benötigt wird. Dadurch wird die Personalabteilung entlastet und Ihre Projekte können schneller als erwartet in Angriff genommen werden.

Sie erhalten Zugang zu einem breiteren Talentrelais. Es kann sein, dass Ihre internen Fachkräfte mit bestimmten Technologien, die Sie benötigen, nicht immer auf dem neuesten Stand sind. In einem solchen Fall ist es am besten, qualifizierte Ressourcen von anderswo auszulagern.

Sie können neue Technologien implementieren. Das Outsourcing-Modell kann die Leinwand für die schnelle Einführung neuer Technologien in Ihrem Unternehmen bilden. Und das ist der Grund: Sie müssen keine Ressourcen ausbilden oder neue einstellen, um den Wandel einzuleiten. Zuverlässige IT-Unternehmen bieten Fachwissen und Erfahrung, die für die frühzeitige Einführung einer neuen Technologie erforderlich sind.

Sie sind besser vor Risiken geschützt. Neben der Kostensenkung ist das technologieorientierte Outsourcing auch mit einer Risikoreduzierung verbunden. Der Grund dafür ist, dass Outsourcing-Anbieter das Risiko für den Kunden in erheblichem Maße übernehmen und managen, da sie über spezifisches Branchenwissen verfügen, insbesondere in Bezug auf Sicherheits- und Compliance-Fragen.

Sie erhalten eine praxisnahe, kontinuierliche Beratung. Durch die umfassende Nutzung externer Expertise erhalten Sie die Möglichkeit, sich kontinuierlich von Experten evaluieren zu lassen, die Ihnen Verbesserungsvorschläge unterbreiten und Ihnen auch helfen können, Ihre Prozesse besser zu skalieren. Kurz gesagt, Sie erhalten kostenlose Beratung für die Neugestaltung Ihrer bestehenden Abläufe und Ihres bestehenden Setups.

Sie können Ihre internen Ressourcen besser nutzen. Wenn Sie Fachleute für bestimmte Funktionen auslagern, setzen Sie die internen Ressourcen frei, um sich um andere geschäftskritische Prozesse zu kümmern. Sie können die eingesparte Zeit und das eingesparte Geld in die Erfüllung sinnvollerer Anforderungen Ihres Unternehmens investieren.

Sie können Ihr Kerngeschäft verbessern. Unternehmen haben nur begrenzte Ressourcen, die auf die Kernbereiche konzentriert werden können, sobald Sie das Gelände abgedeckt haben. Mit einem zuverlässigen Anbieter an Ihrer Seite brauchen Sie sich keine Sorgen über die komplexen Betriebsabläufe, die Sicherheit und die Skalierungsentscheidungen zu machen.

Ihr Unternehmen wird sich in einem größeren Tempo entwickeln. Mit externen Anbietern, die sich um belastende Aufgaben wie Wartung und Support kümmern, können Sie so vorankommen und sich auf Maßnahmen konzentrieren, die sowohl effizient als auch profitabel sind.

Sie können neue Geschäftsmöglichkeiten identifizieren. Outsourcing kann eine kluge Idee für Unternehmen sein, die Wachstumsmöglichkeiten in neuen Marktbereichen erkunden wollen. Anbieter können Ihnen tatsächlich helfen, Ihr Geschäft zu erweitern, indem sie die Lücke zwischen dem Ort der Leistungserbringung und den Endbenutzern schließen.

” All die oben genannten Gründe für die Auslagerung Ihrer technisch orientierten Dienstleistungen sind in diesem Jahr umso wichtiger, da die Coronavirus-Pandemie sozusagen die Visitenkarten in entscheidender Weise mischt. Wir verstehen alle Implikationen einer sinnvollen Partnerschaft mit einem Outsourcing-Unternehmen und verfügen über Top-Talente im Bereich der Unterstützung und Beratung, die bereit sind, Ihren Geschäftserfolg sicherzustellen. Denn das Maß für eine fruchtbare Zusammenarbeit sind schließlich Ergebnisse, die auf die Bedürfnisse jedes Unternehmens zugeschnitten sind", schließt Vivien Untaru vom IT-Outsourcing-Unternehmen VON Consulting.

LG Radiology Displays Bundled with PerfectLum Software

FDA-approved LG displays work with Perfectlum software and include all necessary software and certifications to meet strict New York and New York City requirements.

Wilmington,DE, June 4, 2020 -- QUBYX Medical Solution LLC today announced the immediate availability of advanced medical displays from LG Electronics, which are each bundled with Qubyx PerfectLum Medical Display Calibration and QA Software Suite that is perfectly suited for radiologist, chiropractors, urgent care facilities, hospitals, medical clinics and teleradiology providers.

According to Shareden Senior Business Development Director Sharon Johnson, the company will sell and provide software support for LG's new 27-inch 8MP clinical review medical display (27HJ713C-B), 32-inch 8MP diagnostic display (32HL512D-B) and 21.3-inch 3MP diagnostic monitor (21HK512D-B).

Stephen K. Hu, LG Business Solutions USA's head of medical monitors, said, "As demand for remote healthcare services grows, diagnostic displays will play a crucial role in disciplines such as teleradiology. Together with Qubyx, LG is committed to developing new solutions for healthcare professionals to help them provide the best possible healthcare services."

In order to serve the market, LG designed these new displays to satisfy the stringent requirements of the New York State Department of Health Bureau of Environmental Radiation Protection primary diagnostic monitor guidelines (NYS PDM) and the New York City Health Department's Office of Radiological Health (PDM QA) programs for clinical review and diagnostic use in imaging environments.

The displays are compliant with Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Part 14. The 21HK512D and 32HL512D have FDA 510(k) Class II approval and 27HJ713C is FDA registered. DICOM consistency and crisp, detailed visual quality are crucial for radiologists and other medical professionals to be able to draw accurate conclusions from analyses of patient studies, which led New York to develop strict requirements for diagnostic displays.

Qubyx PerfectLum is a multi-platform, multilingual, full-featured quality assurance tool and remote management solution that not only calibrates a primary or secondary medical display, but also performs acceptance and constancy tests to verify that the display conforms to such international regulations as NEMA DICOM part 14 GSDF, AAPM TG-18, DIN 6868-57, DIN 6868-157, JESRA X-0093, IEC 62563-1 ACR and NYS/NYC Primary Diagnostic Monitor (NY PDM) guidelines.

"PerfectLum Suite has been the preferred medical display calibration and quality control software used by hospitals, teleradiology companies, university health systems, and other medical facilities worldwide," Johnson said. "The integration of PerfectLum with the new LG medical display creates a perfect pairing; LG Electronics has the scale, infrastructure, and reputation to assure all customers they are using a superior product. Based on early interest, we expect these display solutions to become a standard-bearer for teleradiology needs. We are extremely happy that LG recognized the versatility, precision and accuracy of PerfectLum software technology as the perfect calibration complement for the LG medical display products."

The PerfectLum tool offers calibration, QA and reporting capability designed to meet both the NYS and NYC Primary Diagnostic Monitor requirements – making the LG/PerfectLum bundle the perfect solution for NY chiropractors, urgent care facilities, hospitals, medical clinics and other medical organizations.

Supreme Court of Spain Revokes Spanish Nationality to People Born in the Moroccan Sahara Under Spanish Protectorate in a Set Back to the Polisario

The Spanish Supreme Court in Madrid has officially revoked the right of Sahrawis born in the Moroccan Sahara after 1975 to claim Spanish nationality. The Madrid court ruled that the Sahara could not legally be considered a part of Spanish sovereign territory during Spanish protectorate of the region

Berlin, Germany, June 11, 2020 - According to the news agency EFE, the Spanish Supreme Court denies the nationality of origin to those born in the Moroccan Sahara when it was a Spanish colony. This decision gave a hard blow to the aspirations of the Sahrawis and their descendants. The plenary of the Civil Chamber of the high court established in a ruling that to have been born in the Sahara before 1975 does not give the right to obtain Spanish nationality of origin, since it cannot be considered a national territory during the period in which it was administered by Madrid.

Because of the ruling, the Supreme Court withdraws nationality from a Sahrawi person born in 1973 and who applied for nationality at age 36. In order to reach this conclusion, the Supreme Court relied on the two rules that regulated the decolonization process: Law 40/1975, of November 19, issued on the eve of Franco’s death, on decolonization of the Sahara; and Royal Decree 2258/1976, of August 10, on the option of Spanish nationality by the Sahara, in full transition. So, the ruling is the following: those born outside the mainland Spain can NOT be considered Spanish citizens.

Last week, the Spanish Supreme Court also banned the use of “unofficial” flags or any political expression inside and outside public buildings. This represents a blow to the polisario separatist group as they will not be able to use their flags, ensigns, emblems or any unofficial symbols in buildings and public areas to serve their PR war against Morocco’s territorial integrity. The Polisario separatist group is taking the most recent ruling as another blow to their cause.
